I tried. Didn't help.
Any idea how I can get rid of that title bar that sits on top of the tab bar? In the demo I saw it's not present or it may have been cut from it. Linux
In the lower right, there should be a toggle for it.
edit: not sure if that's linux friendly
For people who use password managers, beware that lastpass's extension is not compatible with the new release. Found that out the hard way.
As someone that jumped ship from how slow Chrome has gotten and went to Nightly /w Stylo and (CPU threads - 1) e10s processes enabled about 2 monthsish ago... Holy damn Firefox is actually fast. Fair comparison, both having Pocket, uBlock, Evernote, OneNote, Pushbullet, and Bitwarden; neither of them having an extension the other doesn't. Above described Firefox Nightly config vs Chrome Dev. Test machines are a works…
Can someone more in the know explain if this uses webrender or not? I thought that it did... I have to admit that I'm not super impressed with the results here. Based on the talk that pcwalton did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erfnCaeLxSI I was expected it not to just be a little faster than Chrome, but to, like, double the speed, or more. Is it that these are just not good candidates for showing how much faster t…
WebRender, last I heard, is targeting 58. It's certainly not in this release. I use it in nightly via the config flag; it is pretty great but there are still some glitches from time to time.

Is Tree Style Tab working on it? I've disabled updates until further notice.
Yes, thankfully there's a nightly build[1]. Until there's a stable/signed release you have to allow unsigned extensions; set `xpinstall.signatures.required` to false. To hide the default tab bar I needed to put the following in ~/.mozilla/firefox/xyz123-profile-here/chrome/userChrome.css #TabsToolbar > * { visibility: collapse; } Some features, like autohide, aren't available with the new web extensions model, but ot…
This seems to only work in the Nightly and Developer channel, not with the Beta channel. Is that correct?
More info about Firefox Quantum (aka Firefox 57) here: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/quantum/ (Also appears to feature an updated logo.)
Is this a known issue? https://cl.ly/1b2O1g231m47/Screen%20Shot%202017-09-26%20at%2... I'm on High Sierra and the UI at the top seems to do something really really weird...
I'm guessing this will be fixed in a few days as people upgrade internally. So far, other than looking ugly, it doesn't seem to be causing any other problems.
As a developer one small thing that's irked me is the recent removal of the ability for the dev tools to render html responses. There's an bug open here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1350229 but it seems to have stagnated. It seems like the functionality was removed on a hunch and it's not been added back in, meaning I have to head to Chrome to debug some ajax requests. This, and the lack of LastPass support are the only things holding it back for me.
> No other browser can do this. Every other browser can, they just don't as of now.
As you're probably well aware, several words in the english language have more than a single authoritative meaning. The version of 'can' they were probably using is: "Used to indicate possession of a specified capability or skill".
If the others do not currently possess that ability, then they cannot.

I switched to Chrome years ago and every time I try Firefox it feels sluggish, so I don't switch back. Last time was a week ago :\
If I understand correctly, the photon changes haven't landed on current stable firefox yet. They have just landed in Developer edition. So you might want to give it (or nightly edition) a try.
